… (DH Lunt, BC Hyman, unpublished). Bacterial plasmid systems have been used to investigate
the influence of DNA structure on the frequency of sequence deletions and duplications (…

Significant advances in both mathematical and molecular approaches in ecology offer
unprecedented opportunities to describe and understand ecosystem functioning. Ecological …

Insect mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) genes are used as a model to examine the
within‐gene heterogeneity of evolutionary rate and Its implications for evolutionary analyses. …

The Iberian Peninsula was one of the most important Pleistocene glacial refugia in Europe.
A number of recent studies have documented the phylogeography of Iberian taxa and their …

Continental lake‐dwelling zooplanktonic organisms have long been considered cosmopolitan
species with little geographic variation in spite of the isolation of their habitats. Evidence …

Timing divergence events allow us to infer the conditions under which biodiversity has evolved
and gain important insights into the mechanisms driving evolution. Cichlid fishes are a …

The haplochromine cichlid fish of the East African Great Lakes represent some of the fastest
and most species-rich adaptive radiations known 1 , but rivers in most of Africa …

Through adaptive radiation, ancestral species rapidly diversify into multiple species with
different ecological adaptations. The haplochromine cichlid fishes of the East African Great …

A method for isolating microsatellites that does not involve radionucleotide hybridization is
described. Fragments of DNA were produced using random amplified polymorphic DNA (…

We investigated the phylogeography of the salt water rotifer Brachionus plicatilis, a cyclical
parthenogen with passive dispersal mechanisms, using resting eggs recovered from saline …
